Celebrating STAR Behavior with PBIS at Eader

Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) is a proactive framework we use at Eader Elementary to create a safe and positive learning environment for all students.

Through PBIS, we focus on teaching and reinforcing clear behavior expectations while celebrating the efforts of our students as they learn and grow.

At Eader, our PBIS program is built around the STAR system, which encourages our students to:

S: Be Safe
T: Be Thoughtful
A: Act Responsibly
R: Be Respectful

These values help guide our Eader Eagles to make positive choices, whether they're in the classroom, on the playground, or in the community.

To support these expectations, we’ve developed a PBIS Behavior Matrix that outlines specific examples of how students can demonstrate STAR behaviors in different areas of the school.

We encourage families to review the matrix together at home and discuss ways your Eader Eagle can soar to greatness by living out STAR values every day!

Eader Elementary PBIS Matrix 


Celebrating Eader Eagles - STAR Cards

We are excited to continue rewarding students for doing their best on campus with STAR Cards.

Like last year, across campus we award two STAR Cards per day, per class.

When students collect 10 STAR Cards, they earn a wristband that unlocks special privileges later in the year.

Thank you for your support, together, we can help our students build strong character and a positive school culture!


Parking Lot Safety

Please help keep our students safe by driving carefully and observing all traffic safety signs and speed limits around our school.

When leaving the parking lot, only right turns are allowed.

Please do not park and leave your vehicle in any area that has a red curb. 

Please remember to have your child exit and enter your vehicle on the curbside only.  

Thank you in advance for your cooperation in ensuring the safety of our Eader community.
